Chapter 32: The Village Woman's Gossip
A few more days followed.
The weather was beautiful and the sun was shining, and from a distance, I saw a middle-aged woman dressed plainly, with a hairband on her head and a cheap bracelet on her hand, squatting by the river to wash clothes.
There were also women of similar age, squatting side by side by the river, sitting on the rocks by the river, washing clothes and gossiping.
On weekdays, when the housework seems tiring and boring, the big guys find some fun in this way.
"Have you heard, there is a family in the village that is buying eggs in large quantities, and the ones sold are more expensive than those in the town, and many people have gone to send their eggs to his house in exchange for a lot of silver taels."
"You mean the Lu family on the mountain, yes, I heard that the insider of her family wants to make desserts, and the business is not bad!"
"Yes, yes, it's their family, I heard that it is a surname Qiao Mingwei, but he has some skills, and I heard that people who have eaten the desserts he made are full of praise!"
The conversation caught the attention of the middle-aged woman, who leaned her head forward to listen carefully.
The Lu family on the mountain, as well as the Qiao family in their mouths, all reminded him of Lu Zhao and Qiao Wei, but she had never heard that Qiao Wei had been buying eggs in large quantities recently, and what desserts were making, so she was worried that she had heard it wrong, or it was just a coincidence.
At that moment, a woman turned to look at her, and said with a look of surprise:
"Chunlian, you should be clearer, do you want to tell us about it?"
The woman who bowed her head and was silent and kept secretly gossiping on the side, Qiao Wei's sister-in-law Lin Chunlian was serious.
was suddenly asked, Lin Chunlian obviously didn't make any preparations, she was a little in a hurry, and she couldn't answer a word.
The women on the side seemed to understand something, and gloated a little.
"No, you don't know about it, do you?"
Everyone looked at Lin Chunlian and began to talk about it.
"You're a family, why don't you know anything about it."
"That's it, it's been spread in the village, you don't know if it's an exaggeration."
"Although you don't live together now, you should have some contact with your own family, right?"
Being questioned by everyone like this, Lin Chunlian only felt that her face was hot, pointing to leave as soon as possible after washing her clothes, even so, she still had to pretend that it didn't matter, smiled pleasantly, and continued to talk about this topic with everyone.
If you pick up the basin and leave now, that's a real joke.
"Harm, that is, he has been too busy these days, and he hasn't come back much, and so am I, after they move out, there is not a mother to support at home, and he goes out early and returns late on weekdays, so he has this idle time."
Lin Chunlian's words seemed to move them, everyone looked at each other, but they didn't deny it, but in fact, Lin Chunlian didn't spend much money on Wang Mei, and most of her life still depended on the money that Lu Zhao sent regularly every month.
"Then Qiao Wei doesn't sell any double skin milk, and the business is quite big, why don't you let him give that to the family?"
"Yes, my brother and daughter-in-law are so able to make money, so life won't be so depressed like you, right?"
Everyone's words were like torches, lighting a line connecting the oil barrels, and they became more and more angry in their hearts, but on the surface, they still had to be harmonious, as if they had a good relationship with Qiao Wei.
"That's not down, can't you rely on her alone."
What did he say, but in Lin Chunlian's heart, it was another word: Now that he has made a lot of money outside, he doesn't know how to send more to his home, but he eats and drinks spicy food outside.
Thinking about it, Lin Chunlian also sped up the action of washing clothes on her hands from time to time, and wanted to quickly take the basin back to confront Wang Mei face to face and see the truth of the matter.
Hurry up and make this matter clear, maybe you can ask Qiao Wei to send some more money when the time comes, and you can also profit from it.
Saying that, Lin Chunlian hurriedly put her clothes into the river, soaked them, wrung them out and put them in a basin and walked home.
Coincidentally, after walking a few steps, he ran into a rough man who had just gone out of the village chief's house and was about to deliver milk to Qiao Wei.
"Yo, who is this for so much milk?"
At first, Lin Chunlian didn't think much about it, but she just felt passing by and said hello casually.
In a blink of an eye, the rough man saw Qiao Wei's sister-in-law who was speaking, and immediately became enthusiastic.
"It turned out to be Miss Qiao's sister-in-law, I was about to go to Miss Qiao's house to deliver milk!"
Hearing that it was milk for Qiao Wei, Lin Chunlian's smile froze for a moment, she paused, and then asked:
"Really? So much milk, all? ”
Seeing the cart full of milk, Lin Chunlian felt a little jealous in her heart.
"Yes, Miss Qiao will be determined every day, and I will send it to him at this time of the day."
The rough man was also out of kindness, he didn't know that the relationship between Qiao Wei and Lin Chunlian was not good, and he talked to Lin Chunlian about Qiao Wei a lot.
"These are the ones that Miss Qiao uses to make double skin milk, Miss Qiao really has a pair of skillful hands, this pair of skin milk is sold well in the town, and people are scrambling to eat it every day, and the business is not good."
What the rough man didn't notice at this time was Lin Chunlian's face that was almost black to her chin, staring at the ground with a dull gaze, as if she was thinking about something.
"No matter what, I want to congratulate you, Lu Zhao is really lucky to be able to get such a good daughter-in-law."
Seeing that Lin Chunlian ignored it, the rough man continued to walk forward while boasting.
Looking at the back of the rough man, Lin Chunlian felt more and more uneasy, she came to her senses, and hurriedly accelerated her walking speed, wanting to tell Wang Mei all this.
Everybody says that, and it must be true.
At this time, Qiao Wei didn't know that trouble was coming, and she was still sitting on her double-skin milk wholeheartedly, busy in the new house, and buying eggs and milk in the village without concealment and restraint.
In order to expand her business, Qiao Wei also expanded her own house specially for making double skin milk, and the necessary things such as stoves and wooden pots are also not missing.
The village has not been so lively for a long time, and in the face of Qiao Wei's big move, it has set off a lot of waves in the village, and everyone is also boiling about it, and everywhere you go, you can hear everyone talking about this as an after-dinner conversation.
The huge movement made the whole village more and more lively.
From time to time, small businesses and restaurant owners will find this place and want Qiao Wei to sell double skin milk to them, but Qiao Wei refuses them one by one. Honesty is the most important thing in doing business. Since he promised Boss Chen, he can't go back on his word, only in this way can he keep his guests.
